narran strains Param* .onirica GUY S. RINEBOLT, OF FRANKLIN, PENNSYLVANIA, ASSIGNOR TO FRANKLIN CO'RE BODl AND GAGGER CO., OF FRANKLIN, PENNSYLVANIA, A ORPORATON OF FENN-- Tortoli, {wh-om'. 'it concern:

A' 'Be it known that I, S. Briancon, a

*citizensof theV United States, residing at. ,'-fllr'anklin, int-he county of Venango and State of Pennsylvania, have invented new' and useful..: Improvements in Gaggers or Sand-Anchors, of which the following is a specification. f

This invention relates to improvements in gaggers or sand anchors, and it has for its obJects to provide a device of such construction that the best and most secure adherence of" the sandis afforded, and withal, one

which-shall ,be inherently simple and inex-- pensive, req'uiring no modification of the vflask construction, and superior in use to any of the known sand anchoring devices or expediente.

in embodiment of the invention' and its application are illustrated, Aby way of.-ex ample, in the accompanying drawings, wherein: A

Figure 1 is a 'plan View showing several of the gagg'ers in their application to a section of a molding asi. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the same. lf ig. 3 is a cross section on the line 8-3 of l4` ig. l. Fig. 4 is a detail perspective View of a gagger per 8c, and Fig. 5 is aside elevation of an alternative a0' er construction.

` L-shape in side elevation, having the horizontal leg 6 and the vertical leg 'i'. In some instances, the upper end portion of the leg 7 may be turned horizontally, as at 8, (Fig. 4)

or may be of inverted U-shape, as at 9, (Fig. 5), in order that the gaggers may be positively hung from the cross pieces of the The spirally twisted construct-ion of the gagger herein disclosed by way of exempliryin Gassen on saNnf-ANGHGR.

the invention, has been found to be muc more facile and economical than any specimen Ormea-nent. Patented me. 413, 19.10. Y -Applieation led April 18,1910. 'Serial No. 556,142.

of the known 'gaggers or anchoring expedi' ent-s'.- 'The superior'eiiicacy'ol the present gagger will be readily apparent when it is considered that its spirally4 twisted construction provides for stress-resisting lines and areas of the greatest possible lineal' eirtent and at the same time of the most eiiicient character, viz. of tortuous or sinuous outline of facile pitch, and that these irregularly ex'- tending stress-resisting lines and areas are directed both horizontally and vertically. and

at angles to the major and minor axes of the gagger. By'virtue of these features, the secure adherence of the sand is assured and its liability to dis lacement is rendered. prac-A tically negligib e. A

In the use of a flask section of the 4form herein disclosed, the best resultsjire obtained by* disposing the gaggers in staggered relation. The assemblage of the gaggers involves no special parts or mod'iiicatlon' of the iiask section, the gaggers being simply set.l

into the sand or hung from the cr'ss pieces. lVithal, the construction is inherently of the simplest and most inexpensive character.

The .invention is believed to be of considerable novelty within its particular field,

and for this reason no specific description herein contained is to be regarded as' lacing any limitation upon the scope o the appended' claims, not inherent in the language thereof. i

Having fully described my invention, I claim:

1. A gagger consisting of a bar section of spirally twisted steel having a substantially Hat-sided cross section.

j 2. A gagger consisting of an L-sha'ped bar section of spirally twisted steel having a substantially tiat-sided cross section.

3. A gagger consisting of a bar section f spirally twisted steel having a substantially fiat-sided cross section and having more than one lineal dimension. I

4. A gagger consisting of a bar section of spirally twisted steel having a substantially' fiat-sided cross section and having a laterally-turned extension at one end thereof.

A gagger. consisting of an L-shaped bar section of spirally twisted steel having a substantially flat-sided cross section and 1"having :t vertical leg and :L horizontal leg, the vertical le(` having at its upper end 'a laterally-turned extension.

(i. A gagger consisting of a,v bar section of 5 substantially flat-sided cross section and faced with sinuously directed surfaces.

HTA gagner eonsisting of a bar section of substilntially Hat-sided cross section and constructed to afford stress-.resisting lines ex 10 tendingr axially of the gagger and in vary-` ing directions.

'8. A. gagger consisting of a bar section surface/d with stress-resisting ribs of sinuous outlin'e. A.

15 9.. A gagger consisting of a bar section i surfaced with stress-resisting ribs extending in a direction at an angle to the major and minor n'xes of the bar section.

10. A gagger `consisting of a bai' section surfaced with spaced vstress-resisting` ribs 20 and intervening stress-resisting faces exd tending at an angle .to the major and minoraxes of the bar section.

In testi1nonT whereof- I have liereunt my hand in presence of twos11hscr1`bnlg 25 witnesses.
